  1. If you need to improve your existing insulation or would like to start from scratch, then you need to decide the type of insulation that is best suited for your house.

    Blankets or segments, made from fibreglass, polyester or wool, can be put into ceilings and walls, as can loose-fill insulation, like cellulose, or foam insulation. These products can go into the walls and ceilings of houses while they are being built. In existing houses, they can only be installed in accessible ceiling cavities.

    For floors, reflective insulation systems like aluminium foils are effective in reducing downward heat flow. Rigid insulation which can be made from plastic foams or polystyrene can also be used as under-floor insulation.
